Winter Char Dham Yatra Advisory: Ensuring Safety and Preparedness Amid Harsh Conditions

Before starting your pilgrimage, it’s crucial to get a full health check-up and consult with your doctor. Cold-related illnesses like coughs and colds are common in colder climates, so make sure to pack warm clothing, medicines for colds, and a hot water bottle to keep yourself comfortable. Staying hydrated is crucial, especially at high altitudes where the air is thinner. If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, confusion, or vomiting, seek medical help right away. These could be signs of high altitude sickness, which needs prompt attention.
